This is where people come to reset.

To slow down.
To breathe deeper.
To step away from the noise and reconnect with themselves.

From sound experiences to intentional gatherings, this space is designed for reflection, creativity, and nervous system support.

It’s calm.
It’s beautiful.
It’s ready for you.

Book a tour or join an upcoming event—we’d love to show you around.

This isn’t just an instrument — it’s an ancient ally for transformation.

The gong speaks in frequencies that words can’t touch.

It melts stress, stills the mind, and unlocks a sense of spaciousness that most of us forget is even possible.

It’s not about performance.
It’s about presence.

A single session can reset your entire nervous system, helping you release what no longer belongs and tune into a deeper truth.

This space was created for just that — to rest, to recalibrate, to remember.

If you’ve been craving something real… something that resonates beyond the noise… this is your invitation.

POV: You walked into a space and your nervous system said, “Finally.”

Not a studio.
Not a coworking loft.
Not a wellness spa.
It’s all of it—and none of it.

Somewhere between deep rest and creative activation.

Where sound heals, tea flows, and time slows down just enough for you to remember who you are.

You don’t need a reason to come.
You just need a moment.

Come see what The Portal is really about.

You’re not too much. You’re on fire.
This circle is for the woman who’s been dimming her light, playing small, or silencing her truth.

On August 13, you’re invited to reconnect to your fire.
To the wild woman within.
To the sacred YES that lives in your body.

This isn’t about perfection. It’s about power.

The Portal is not just a space.

It’s a blueprint for what’s next.

A sanctuary for those building a new world—visionaries, creatives, leaders, and those who know that true innovation doesn’t come from hustle.

It comes from alignment.

Inside The Portal, we’re reclaiming what it means to work, lead, connect, and heal.

We’re creating from stillness.

We’re prioritizing nervous system regulation.

We’re honoring the cycles of being human.

Come do your work differently.
Come rest. Come create. Come remember.

Membership applications are now open.

The world is loud right now.
Fast.
Demanding.

But beneath the urgency, there’s a quieter call—a global call for metanoia.

Not just change. Transformation.
A radical turning of the soul. A remembering. A return.

And often, that shift doesn’t come through more doing, more noise, more striving.

It comes through stillness.
Solitude.
Sacred space.

At The Portal, we’ve created room for that kind of journey.

Not a coworking space. Not a wellness trend.

A multidimensional sanctuary for those who know something deeper is calling.

If you’ve been craving time alone—not to isolate, but to recalibrate—this is your invitation.

To be in a space that honors quiet seasons.
To create from clarity.
To be witnessed, or to simply rest.

Apply now to access space at The Portal this fall.

The next cohort begins mid-August.

Chelan Vanno, founder of Infinite Illumination Yoga, is a certified instructor of Kundalini Yoga and Meditation. She received her certification from the Kundalini Research Institute in 2018 and has studied with some of the most renowned instructors in the country. Her lead teacher was Kartar Khalsa, who has received many honors, including being named as the International Kundalini Yoga Teacher Association’s Teacher of the Year in 2014. She received additional instruction in sound and mantra from internationally known recording artist Sat Purkh Kaur Khalsa, and training in posture and alignment from Siri Sat Kaur, founder of Kundalini Yatras Inc.

As a mother and business professional, Chelan was in search of a way to find balance and peace in her life. In an attempt to overcome some personal struggles, she attended a wellness retreat in 2017 that featured Kundalini Yoga. The experience had a profound impact and inspired her to dive deep into its practices and spiritual principles. The transformational shifts this evoked, led to an undeniable need to share the benefits of Kundalini Yoga with others.

She now finds fulfillment and joy in enlightening her own students on these ancient practices, sharing techniques that can be used in everyday life to release stress, find emotional balance and awaken intuition. Her classes, which consist of breathing techniques, physical practices and mantra meditation, are aimed at building physical vitality and expanding consciousness.
